Introducing new tags and tagging schemes for new features is not the
problem - that works fairly well.
The problem are those tags that are in widespread use, but are
ambiguously defined. Where the same tag is used with different meanings
by different schools of mappers, we have the real problem. If we'd
introduce some advanced feature/tag finding system, we would still have
to decide on a single definition for every tag offered there. Discussion
has brought us nowhere, so someone needs to make a hard decision which
interpretation to include in the lookup system and which to drop.
